A fallen police officer's widow, who gave birth to their child more than two years after her husband's death, says the so-called "miracle baby" can become a police officer just like her father, if she wants to.

"They didn't know if it was gonna work, they didn't know if was going to be a possibility, and here it is two and a half years later, and it's a miracle," Police Commissioner James O'Neill told CBS News of Angelina's birth.

The officer’s widow says it's up to her child whether she wants to become a cop like her dad.
